GRH 164 Come, Lord, and Tarry Not

(1)
Come, Lord, and tarry not;
Bring the long looked for day;
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?

(2)
Come, for thy saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, come!
Dost thou not hear the cry?

(3)
Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth,
Restore our faded Paradise,
Creation’s second birth.

(4)
Come, and begin thy reign;
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the Kingdom to thyself,
Great King of righteousness.
